Vasily and Inna Chumbarskaya, as parents and guardians
of Nataliyia Chumbarskaya, a minor child

vs.

Mario Rodriguez and Gerardo Rodriguez


Cherokee County State Court
 
 
Liability Facts: 15 year old female was walking home from a friend’s house when she was attacked and bitten by a dog in the public street. She sustained numerous bites which broke the skin on her left leg, right arm, back and buttocks. The dog, an Akita mix, belonged to the son of a homeowner residing in the same Cherokee County neighborhood and had been allowed to run loose and unattended. Animal Control was summoned to the scene where it took custody of the dog and cited its owner with county leash law violations. Plaintiff was taken to the hospital emergency room where she received stitches and was admitted overnight for observation and rabies testing which proved negative. An investigative canvass of the neighborhood identified another resident which had been bitten by the same dog 9 months earlier.
